Full solution

Q. Find the product. Simplify your answer.\newline2a(a2+1)2a(-a^2 + 1)
  1. Distribute 2a2a: Distribute 2a2a to both terms inside the parentheses.\newline2a(a2+1)=2a(a2)+2a(1)2a(-a^2 + 1) = 2a(-a^2) + 2a(1)
  2. Simplify 2a3-2a^3: Simplify 2a(a2)2a(-a^2).\newline2a(a2)=2a32a(-a^2) = -2a^3
  3. Simplify 2a2a: Simplify 2a(1)2a(1).\newline2a(1)=2a2a(1) = 2a
  4. Combine results: Combine the results from Step 22 and Step 33.\newline2a3+2a-2a^3 + 2a
